'l'll ri;MSrbOr 01J it N A I,S. ` • DALIN Exiradeftem the Morning Papers,March 25,182(3. ilitOttNi NG row.] We yesterday "gave a. faithful report of the pro m. ngs o r a meeting of Bank Stock' Proprietors, which took place on the preceding day. We now refer to the subject principally for the purpose of noticing the animadversions to which it has given rise in the columns of a Morning Paper. The' article to which we allude begins and ends with the old complaint respecting what It pleases to call " the ill-omened and unworthy secrecy lu which they (the Directors) have hitherto th9uiht ht to envelope the general accounts of the corporation ;" a complaint render ed cer . 104) more grievous because they (the writers of the article), " find that the Proprietors and the PIA 1) may remonstrate until doomsday, without tic ,iris ucing the Directors to relax one particle" of th'asaid ill.otnened and unworthy secrecy. We acitinwiedge ourselves to be a little surprised by tl4'fnfortriution we derive from this observation, that' either the Bank Proprietors or the Public had made any remonstrance whatever upon the ,subject. Our idea was that the former body, by repeated and almost unanimous votes, and the latter, by a silence equally express)ve—! Silence interrupted only at intervals by the 'voice of some oracular Daniel, to which truly nobody listened--had announced their entire concurrence in a system by which alone the dia• ritct i ec, of the Bank, as the .fit depository of poll• ticarand cemmercial confidence, could in their opinion be upheld. We subjoin another exqui site specimen of reasoning, in relation to the amount of money which the Bonk, up to the day •4 meeting had lent upon the deposit of goods:— " xi Was stated on this point by the Gmiernor, that the adVances made by Ow Bank upon goods had fallen much within a quarter of it miliion sterling. Let us, then, just put it to any rca sortable mind, whether if those who suffered wrongfully-Iml formed any large proportion of the commercial world, or, indeed, even a fraction of it worth beltn4 classed and dis tinguished, it is possible to imagine that the aid administered to them would not have exceeded 260,0001. ? Another proof, if such had been wanting, that the corn. rnerciat distress was almost confined to those ho never had real means, and whose insolvency was rather detected by the late crisis than pro. ,iced by it, and whose false pretensions to pro. perty and credit were then exposed to an ordeal with which they could no longer struggle."— T his reasoning is as cold and hard as a flint, yet like a flint too some sparks of light may be struck out of it. We learn from it, in the first place, that the completion of arrangements, preparatory to, the absorption of ooe.twelfth of the whole sum proposed to bo letn, in about a fortnight after the loan was decided , on, is to be taken as a proof, by every reasoning mind, that the men. stirs was originally unneressary,.and that the class of persons who were suffering wrongfully under the pressure, was SO small as not to be discovera ble without difficulty. Then we learn further,thet when a merchant or menufacturer finds his book. debts reduced in value, no matter how much, by the unexpected insolvency of others, the dif• ficulties in which he becomes involved are to con. vince every 'reasoning mind that he never had any real means, and that his own insolvency, it It should follow, is rather detected by the crisis thlin produced by it. Again, we are instructed thai if any commodity fulls, from whatever cause, or in whatever flegre , , below its useal or average price, the large holders of such commodity are' not one jot the poorer, not one jot the less able to fulfil all their existing engagements, or if they should prove to be so, that every rea soning mind must conclude their former pre. tensions to property and credit to have been false, nod rtioic.e accordingly in the ordeal with which they could no longer struggle. These fur. sortie of the sparks of commercial light elicited et the first stroke from the valuable pro. diction of our extemporary. To suppose that we have thus extracted all the treasures of know. ledge contained in this luminous production, • would be to letldfir It a very imperfect justice. and expert investigation might deduce from It the corrollaries, that a part is as great as the whole, and that misfortune is identical with crime and thus obtain for it; in addition to'the praise of improving our commercial no• tiontt, that of shedding a new light upon physical am' moral science. r 11111; TIMESj.

So fdr . . the Regency, if sanctioned by the young Empe ror, may go on smoothly fora time; but we con fess that it'seerws a very difficult prbblem to sug gest a s9heme of policy - which may eventually reconcile'the claims of Dore*Pedro upon both crovvns'erith those of both ►ations to absolute independence of each other.—The Emperor Francis, it is rumoured, has hit upon a plan, equally comic to an Englishman and characteris tic of the starch etiquette of the Imperial Court, for keeping Dan Miguel a sort of drawing-room prisoner at Vienna. Ilis Imperial Majesty has taken care to hamper the Portuguese Prince with Court invitations and engagements for the mode rate period of five months to come ; and thus neutralized, at the outset of the new Regency, poor Miguel's personal machinations. The Por tuguese generally, it is presumed, will acquiesce without repugnance in a provisional settlement, which keeps alive the title of Dun Pedro, and ousts the interference of his brother and of the Queen. If Mr. Canning, therefore, feels uneasy upon• the subject of Portugal, it is, probably, for the final issue of things, not for their imme diate condition. [NEW TIMES.] The illness of the Emperor of Austria, among other circumstances, has been regarded as mart vourable to the tranquillity of Europe. Un doubtedly the personal character of Francis 1. is pacific ; it is marked with integrity, and affords every pledge that can 1w desired of a moderate and equitable policy. The loss of such a Prince would . be, to all who know him, ma tter of per sonal regret ; but perhaps the death of no Sove reign in Europe would be less likely to disturb the existing order of things. The Austrian Go vernment, with the exception of those measures ' which • were dictated by the ambition of the. philosophical Joseph, has pursued one steady course, from the period when Maria Theresa overcame the early difficulties of her reign, to the present time. it has bent,indeed, to circum stances, submitting to, rather than courting, the alliance of Frapce ; but the chief characteristic of its policy has.been conservative rather than aggressive ; and its Statesmen have all acted upon ,a system which it would now be difficult for any Austrian Cabinet to abandon. The age of the Emperor of Austria is -not so far advanced •as to'make us fear any thing`from. the decay of Iris constitution. t 11e was worn on the • 12th of February, 1758, and has, consequently, just en tered his sfith year ; but even supposing that he should fall a victim to a sudden and violent attack of illness, the 'numerous branches of the Imperial Family, and their perfect union among themselves, leave no reason to expect any flting like a change in the administration of the Government. Francis is the grandson of Maria Theresa, who had nine children ; and the son of Leopold, who had fourteen ; and he has himself seven ; there are living eight of Isis brothers and sisters, who have among them eight.rhildrest, and !our of his daughters have been intrried, and have testte living. His eldest non, the Archduke Fer dinand, is nearly 33 years of age ; and, there is no doubt but that, Ott Isis nut:cession to the throne, the same, or nearly the same Ministers, us at present, would he continued in power.— Frotn.the accounts of last night, indeed, though these rest only on the authority of private letters there seems no occasion for fear. But even granting the worst to happen, though we should: , sincerely regret the loss of . so worthy . and well• disposed a Monarch as the Emperor Francis, we should not consider it as an event foreboding any thing disastrous to Europe in general, or to the interests of this country., in particular. [uniTifin The indulgence which has been so liberally ex tended to the merchants and manufacturers with regard to the payment of the excise and other du. ties, in cases w here the failure of the country banks May have put it out of their power to observe their usual punctuality, cannot fail to have its effect on the receipt of the Revenue for the current quarter but - the delleiency thus occasioned will come into the next Quarter, and the commerce of the country will, in the mean time, cleave a benefit commenstt rate with the indulgence thus granted The aspect of affairs k brightening considerably in the manufacturing districts; sad when we con sider the great command which the capital of this country gives her in the general market of the world, we may rest satisfied that she will soon nod the means of overcoming all her tem _ porary difficulties, and recovering her for. 1114. r Strength and vigour. One of the strongest signs of returning confidence is al eatly visible, which is, that the monied ca pitalists are gradually increasing their deposits at their different bankers ; many who lately kept hut a few hundreds have now as many thousand;; the fears w filth had led them to retain the greater part of their cash in their own coffers h av i ng now subsided, The. reforming spirit of the Government . ) both as it respeCis the commer cial code and the administration of criminal justice, has likewise the good effect of generat ing confidence of another kind, which cannot but have a beneficial influence on public affairs, that i4)11 extend itself, more or lees, to every part of the system. [Tint PUULIC LEDain.l The German Papers which have reached us to the IBth inst., contain a statement which, at the present time, is of peculiar interest. It says, that the excessive importation into this country from Germany, during the last year, was mostly made at the risk of German Speculators, upon whom the loss falls of course, and not ou the English Merchant, who merely took the goods on commission, for which, it is said, he got amply paid, besides receiving good interest for the motley he had advanced. The intelligence is the more interesting, as it serves to expose tyntorn of gross misrepresentation which had 11114 , 11 put in practice daring the late eri,k, partly fesr the purpose of deterring Minis* tern fro , 11 the pursuit of th e i r lib e ral uteasures, And pmtly ham a spirit of political hostility which had seized that htornegtor alarm, in order to din- place the liberal part of the Cabinet. The state- ment in the German Papers, coupled with the Information given at the Meeting of Bank Pro prietors on Thursday last, relative to the small ness orthe sum demanded from that Body in the way of relief, cannot fail to do much good at this moment, as it must convince the Public of the gross imposition which had been practised upon them. They must also see it a confirma tion of what we , never ceased to urge upon them at the time, that the resources of the country had suffered no 'serious diminution, and that all that was wanting to replace things on their former footing, was confidence alone.- The truth, contained in our assurances, would have been established much sooner to the satisfaction of the mercantile world, but for the profligate industry with which deception had been kept up, and ell this for the purpose solely of depriving the country of the services of the ablest and most upright men in the Cabinet. Their honest and enlightened course of policy, has caused incre dible scandal as well as alarm amongst the poll. tical hacks of the old school, and as these have a large portion of the public press under their controul, as well as a band of drilled alarmists in their pay, they set these base engines at work to malign the nerves and depre ciate the talents of the former. This we firmly believe is the whole secret of the extraordinary panic which prevailed some time since ; but, in stead of promoting the views of the intriguers who bad excited it, we are not without hopes of seeing them still visited with the infamy which should attach to them for having wantonly occa sioned so much individual ruin and collective embarrassment. [MORNING CHRONIC[.E.] Mr. Hume, when he complained on Thursday night of the hardship on the people of Scotland, who paid for their own bastards, in making them pay also towards 400 bastard children, which had been begotten without their assisomce in Ireland, does not seem to have been aware of the deep policy of the arrangement which he was assailing. It is well known that the legitimate children otthe Catholics turd out almost uniformly Catholics. But the Protestant Church of Ireland must not for de cency's sake be allowed, as far us the laity is concerned, to go out like the snuff of a candle. Charter Schools have received a severe blow, and from that source few Protestants can now be manufactured. But the bastard children of Ca. tholica will make as good Protestants as if their birth was perfectly unexceptionable, and there fore a tax for Foundling Hospitals, into which the Catholics may be coaxed to deposit the pro duce of their lawless loves, may answer just as well as a tax for Charter Schools. if holylVlo ther Church receives an accession of subjects, we must not reckon too nicely respecting the Source. ETII EPItES EN TATI The Bill for the regulation of Juries in India is, as we .anticipated, receiving the support of alt who take honest and liberal views on the subject of our government in India. As the TORII)) , Jury only exists at the several townships of Cal cutta, Madras, and Bombay, where jastice is ad ministered according to the law of England, the first extension of the eligibility to serve on Juries'' is neceksarily limited to these places; but if Ceylon be really taken as the standard of ex 'tension, much yet remains to be done ; and herein we have the good fortune to agree with Mr. Hum:, (a good fortune which the variety and eccentricity of that Gentleman's pursuits seldom places within our reach), namely, that the belle. fit should not be confined to the inhabitants of the Presidencies, but communicated to the millions subject to British-rule. The punchayst, or Jury of Five,• is 'an institution indigenous as it were in the Ilindoo law and administration ; the prin. ciple would not, therefore, be a novelty, and an enlargement in the number of Jurors would be to mere alteration of form, with which no prejudice of Caste Could interfere. We feel assured that such an impro4ement in our judic4ll sys t e m would prove highly convenient and be neficial. It would be convenient, as an aid to the European presiding Judge In the dis covery of truth which may escape, and for a length of time often eludes the acutest mind, from the want of that knowledge of the moral pro- petisities and motto!, habits of the natives o India, which no foreigner of a different educa tion nod tribe can possibly acquire. it would further be highly beneficial, by giving our administration, a hold upon the affections of ,the nat i ves , and inspiring a sentiment of self.re. sp e et, which every measure of our rule has almost inevitably had a tendency to wound and destroy. We tarry our views of the employment of our native subjects, especially in the judicial and revenue departments, much farther than has been yet attempted ; and we are therefore the more anxious for the extension of the Jury system throughout our territories from a convic tion that the eligibility of natives to decide on the facts of cases involving the lives and proper ties of their fellow-subjects, must lead to their introduction into the higher offices of the general administration. [MORNING lIERALD.] In another part of our paper will be found accounts of the importation, for the last three years, of cotton and sheep's wool, wine, silk, tobacco and snuff, tallow, ashes, indigo, and timber ; from which it will be OCE , II that the im portation of almost all those articles was, for the last year, what may be called excessive. Here we have it demonstrated, as far as it can well be, why the several persons engaged in those several branches of importing business, complain that their trades arc fi a t; that, they canon! dispose of their goods except at very reduced ptices and so on. In cotton and cheeps' wool, wine, aud Imo, the impo r tations of last year appear to have been al mos t double what they were the preceding y ears , Th e consequence naturally was! ► depression of prices. The diminution of the medium—if there was a- diminntion—had little or nothing whatever to do in these several cases.—(Ses another column of TnaSini.) COMMERCIAL.

A virr,rarT TO POISON.--A young man of respectable ap pearance, named John Davis, was charged with having at tempted to poison an elderly man named Harvey. The facts of the case, which are somewhat singular, are these : —The prosecutor, who is a farmer, living near Worcester, was ac- i coated by the prisoner on Thursday last, near Fetter-lane. The prisoner, pretending to be a stranger in London, inquired the way to St..fiunes Park. " Nay, my friend (says the, .pro secutor), you seem as ignorant of Lunnon as myself." Upon t hi s a conversation occurred between them, and they walked inspected the Park, they quitted that place, together towards the Park, which they found without much i a l w n d o(ainsstehntleeelintaritrnglY the d usk prosecutor wen t in to a - tersall's ; there they remained some then went into a public.house and partook of some tu i r l n u e v t i l n4 into Tat d at Lili de C , U tia l l t ne y nd . refreshment, for which the p a r n o d se t c: i t e t;r ris i o n n si e s r t , ed wh u o p h o ia n d tt pa b y e i t n t g er .

Their conversa tion, as might be expected, was about London, which the pro secutor said he . considered was a dangerous place. The priso ner concurred in that opinion, and, after observing upon the number of sharpers who infested London, said he hoped the prosecutor did not carry much . mtlney about with him. "As for myself," said the prisoner, " I keep all my money at home, and am determined not to be fleeced by any of the scamps." " Why," replied the prosecutor, " 1 don't carry much about with me; I have, to be sure, a few sovereigns and a note or two," and he then displayed Ins money bag to the view of the prisoner. The prisoner again remarked upon the numerous robberies that were committed in London and said, that where he was stopping was a very convenient and safe place, and that if the prsecutor would take up his quarters in the' same house, he would with pleasure remove his luggage. The prosecutor, however, did not accede to this request, and the prisoner then left the room for a few minutes. When lie returned the glasses were replenished with rum and water , and at tha t moment a man who was sitting on the opposite side of t he room , saw the and' holding one of the g pr la is s o s n es er u ta nd k e e r the contents of the phial into it. Having done this, he drew the prosecutor's glass r e o , mh he p o s pocket, ured towards him, and pushed the one into which he had emptied a t the i t a a l b f l the liquid into its place. He then pressed the prosecutor to drink ; who took it up, and tasted it, but not hking its fla vour he put it down again, and refused to take any more, saying it was queer. "Oh I said the prisoner; while drink ing off his own glass ate draught, " don't flinch, Man, drink it: '"The prosecutor said, he would not, and wished the pri soner to drink it, but he declined. At this moment the man, who saw the liquid put into the phial, suspecting all was not right, communicated what he had seen to the landlady, and then went over to Mr. Conens's, a chemist, where he was in , formed that a person, answering the description of the prisoner, had purchased sixpenny-worth of laudanum, which he said was to be given to a mare which he was going to sell. The man mediately procured the assistance of the street-keeper, and the rhymer was taken into custody. The prisoner was identified by Mr. Couiens, at being the person who purchased the lau danum, and on the bottle which contained it, he wrote the word " Poison." The prisoner told an unsatisfactory story of his being the son of an innkeeper at Cheitter. Ile was remanded till neim MA RIXOROUGII.STREET. A countryman, near 40 years of a g e, came before the Ma . gistrate, and stated that he was a corn . factor , residing in Damp.

THE BACHELOR in QUEST of a WIFE. (From the Freeman's Journal.) An eccentric announcement appeared in. OW and other Journals of last week, proclaiming the intention of a " young man" to walk, for the second time, on yesterday, Sunday, for an hoar,. round Stephen's Green, Dublin, 44 no exception' to be made on account of the rain or bad .wea-. ther," when if one of the 44 fair sex, aged; about 20 years, and, like himself, of respecta-• bility and address, middle sized, of a good cons - stitution, complexion, good looking, of a good; temper," and possessed of many moral and men' : tal perfections, as enumerated by the advertiser,. 44 should feel herself inclined to marry and to be' happy with such a man"as this candidate formed.. lock," he would be found to walk a little-faster than the rest of the people,dressed.in black,wearing a pair of silver spectacles, to carry a brown silk urn.' brel la, with a straight handle, in his left hand, and his yellow leather glove off his right ban d, be. . tween his thumb and fingers, loose enough to , be intended to receive a note in it, in which time and place was to be mentioned for a happy meet. ing with the lady."—" The Beau Walk," Ste , phen's Green, has seldom put forth stronger' claims to its title of distinction, than it did.ori occasion of yesterday (Sunday). At an early hour numerous grouped were seen to crowd the avenues leading to the rendezvous, and amongst them many persons of fashion and great respec-e tability, all animated with amusing anticipation , ' and enlivened by the vivifying effulgence of dancing sun beams in their meridian splendour , - At three o'clock precisely, the hour appointe& by the hymen's) candidate, the anxious expeca. tants were gratified by his sudden nppearaneer esacternent en costume ; but soon delight gave place to rage, for scarcely bad t he Gentleman put himself in a promenading positi o n than p eace officers Shields and Ross accosted him, and stated that an information bad been sworn to before the Magistrates of College-street Police Office, charging him with exciting a breach of the pence, and a violation of the Sabbath ; and, after u little explanation, he, without hesitation, ac companied the Officers, who, with considerable difficulty, and often encountering much rough usage-from the crowd, succeeded in conveying him to the Mansion-house ; and, after some time, Mr. Goodisson, Chief Police Officer, took him its a carriage to College street Police Office, escort ed by the Horse. Police, and followed by a tre mendous crowd, hooting, and throwing stones , at the Police. On arriving at, the Police Office, and being questioned by Counsellor Gabhett, the Gentleman stated himself to be a German, named Anthony Franc, and that he arrived in Dublin on the first day of the ,present month. He contradicted the report, that his proceeds lugs were for a . wager—assured the Magistrat e that he was really serious in his professions and intentions to procure a wife—but regretted ex ceedingly that his ignorance of the laws, and of the habits and manners of this country, bad led him to adopt a measuressrcasioning any infraction of the as h e should ace,andthiamtvleiewbaaldkehd his hour. iredhorsesformthre. purpose of retiring speedily from the crowd, es ts F pFahe ra rtetaii srinificce‘ev;dislemoeownnnaisitclenai conceiving vhl manner i lisd a iog n ool d toiwihd e tagi explanation eoi recognizance n n tws a ::ve i se o r n i 1 t a erhog r r p umi : it io n ae2 r tmdi e oop d ;lo - a. t ti o inoo jot ad t h gpor e ei.

Mr. Franc's appearance and manner fully justified his own description of himself ; he slink" English and French with great fluency— gave his address No. 3, Duke-street, and handed to the Magistrate the receipt for the hire of the horses before alluded to. He also stated, that he had no acquaintance in this city, and had been in the ' habit of coming to , England occasionally for 15 years past. In reply to a question from some one present, he said he-had received a fivw letters in answer to his advertisement. The arrest of the Gentleman occasioned considerable excite ment and legal discussion amongst the crowd, and the warm protestations of many respectable persons who denied the right exercised over' the person of this Individual. College-street Police Office Was crowded in front for a considerable time, and, it was not without much difficulty , that Mr. Goodisson succeeded in obtaining am and molested retreat for Mr. Franc through a privets , door of the Police Office.
